Rapper Fat Joe is accused of forcing his former hype man to engage in thousands of sex acts with women in a $20 million federal civil lawsuit that also alleges he was underpaid, denied songwriting credits and threatened.

Terrance “T.A” Dixon filed the complaint Thursday in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against the rapper, members of his inner circle and Roc Nation.

An attorney for Fat Joe, whose real name is Joseph Antonio Cartagena, said the allegations are “complete fabrications” intended to damage the rapper’s reputation.

The lawsuit says that Dixon was the rapper’s hype man, or on-stage entertainer, but also contributed as his lyricist, background vocalist, bodyguard and “creative collaborator” from about 2005 to 2022.
